There's a simple reason why.
Our scientists would study it,, doing their best to unlock its secrets and eventually stashing it away in a museum when they were done.
"This conclusion is based on a scenario in which an extraterrestrial civilization embarks upon an interstellar program during which it launches increasingly sophisticated probes whose departure speed increases as a function of time throughout the program," he added. Which leaves the question: "What probes will be the first to arrive at a disparate planetary system within which there is a civilization capable of retrieving the vehicle?" as Smith writes in his paper.
Smith extrapolates this purely hypothetical scenario in his paper, finding that the 140th probe sent some 14,000 years from now would arrive at the same destination almost two million years before Voyager 2.
